Cloudflare launched fast and private public DNS service

Cloudflare launched their new free public DNS service yesterday (yeah, funny date to make product announcement on April 1st). But this is no joke. They actually launched this product. In a nutshell, it’s a service like OpenDNS or Google DNS, except it’s the fastest of them all and cares about user privacy.

Cloudflare DNS

As you can see from DNSPerf webpage, it’s resolving the fastest for basically entire world and their privacy policy is also very strict, meaning they do not track or store any user data and they also don’t sell any data to anyone.

It is yet unknown if Cloudflare DNS provides any other security features like cache poisoning protection, anti-phishing and malware blocking. Still waiting for their reply on this one, will update as I receive more info.
